Riding up a small hill on only 10 volts of solar power from Sunpower solar cells!
no batteries are used, just the power from the sun.
The highly diffuse reflectors provide the max solar output from indirect sun exposure ..
I just recently finished a 2 week e-bike trek through British Columbia, Canada. and I carried all 8 DIY Sunpower solar panels along for backup charging...the FEP or plastic protective top sheet on each panel has become scratched and visibly worn..
My motor is a 1000watt beast with heavy magnets, which is not ideal for really low wattage testing... so Im quite content with the results so far..
about the DIY panels..
8 panels with 4 Sunpower cells each
without reflectors or mounts, each panels weighs 100 grams each
- I have not weighed the whole kit, but I would make a guess of 5lbs or less.
about the hybrid e-bike
it is a mid-motor mount with freewheel cranks
The diffuse reflectors are a material named White97™ Film - donated by WhiteOptics

PASSED!
solar power around 30W
from 4 V to 8.4 V via DC-DC converter , to charge battery without risk of overcharging it
motor can work from solar power alone, at half power
but with battery, it can go full power, and when plane gains altitude, it shuts down and solar cells recharge battery back to full.
ratio is 1:1.5 , 10sec motor : 15 sec recovery
most planes can handle that pattern, FPV gliders even better...

In this video the best battery for Solar PV systems is explored. There are a wide variety of batteries in the market, each suited for a particular application.
For solar PV systems mostly car cranking battery is used which is the worst possible choice for that application. In the developing world truck batteries are used for higher storage capacity which again is a poor option.
Another battery that is making waves is the saltwater battery which is also examined in this video.

History

The southern shoreline of Manhattan Island had long been known as "The Battery," and has been a popular promenade since the 17th century. At the time, an artillery battery there served as protection to the town. The Battery was the center of Evacuation Day celebrations commemorating the departure of the last British troops in the United States after the American Revolutionary War. Just prior to the War of 1812, the West Battery, later renamed Castle Clinton, was erected on a small artificial offshore island nearby, to replace the earlier batteries in the area; later, when the land of Battery Park was created, it encircled and incorporated the island.

Master of Puppets was released to critical acclaim and has been included in several publications' best album lists. Its driving, virtuosic music and angry, political lyrics drew praise from critics outside the metal community. The album is considered the band's strongest effort of the period, and is one of the most influential heavy metal albums. Critics credit it for consolidating the American thrash metal scene with its atmospheric and meticulously performed songs. Many bands from all genres of heavy metal have covered the album's songs, including tribute albums.

Battery (baseball)

In baseball, the term battery refers collectively to the pitcher and the catcher, who may also be called batterymen or batterymates of one another.

History

The use of the word 'battery' in baseball was first coined by Henry Chadwick in the 1860s in reference to the firepower of a team's pitching staff and inspired by the artillery batteries then in use in the American Civil War. Later, the term evolved to indicate the combined effectiveness of pitcher and catcher.

Famous batteries

Some batteries are remarked upon as more than usually productive. Yogi Berra (catcher) and Whitey Ford (pitcher) were World-Series level players who were batterymates with the Yankees since Ford's rookie season in 1950. They started 212 games together.

Automotive battery

An automotive SLI battery (starting, lighting, ignition) is an automotive battery that powers the starter motor, the lights, and the ignition system of a vehicle's engine, mainly in combustion vehicles.

Automotive SLI batteries are usually lead-acid type (electric cars may also use in addition to non-lead batteries), and are made of six galvanic cells connected in series to provide a nominally 12-volt system. Each cell provides 2.1volts for a total of 12.6 volts at full charge. Heavy vehicles, such as highway trucks or tractors, often equipped with diesel engines, may have two batteries in series for a 24-volt system or may have series-parallel groups of batteries supplying 24V.

Lead-acid batteries are made up of plates of lead and separate plates of lead dioxide, which are submerged into an electrolyte solution of about 38% sulfuric acid and 62% water. This causes a chemical reaction that releases electrons, allowing them to flow through conductors to produce electricity. As the battery discharges, the acid of the electrolyte reacts with the materials of the plates, changing their surface to lead sulfate. When the battery is recharged, the chemical reaction is reversed: the lead sulfate reforms into lead dioxide and lead with the sulfate returning to the electrolyte solution restoring the electrolyte specific gravity. With the plates restored to their original condition, the process may now be repeated.

The core group of generic top-level domains consists of the com, info, net, and org domains. In addition, the domains biz, name, and pro are also considered generic; however, these are designated as restricted, because registrations within them require proof of eligibility within the guidelines set for each.

Historically, the group of generic top-level domains included domains, created in the early development of the domain name system, that are now sponsored by designated agencies or organizations and are restricted to specific types of registrants. Thus, domains edu, gov, int, and mil are now considered sponsored top-level domains, much like the themed top-level domains (e.g., jobs). The entire group of domains that do not have a geographic or country designation (see country-code top-level domain) is still often referred to by the term generic TLDs.

Solar (room)

The solar was a room in many English and French medievalmanor houses, great houses and castles, generally situated on an upper storey, designed as the family's private living and sleeping quarters. In such houses, the main ground-floor room was known as the Great Hall, in which all members of the household, including tenants, employees and servants, would eat. Those of highest status would be at the end, often on a raised dais, and those of lesser status further down the hall. But a need was felt for more privacy to be enjoyed by the head of the household, and, especially, by the senior women of the household. The solar was a room for their particular benefit, in which they could be alone and away from the hustle, bustle, noise and smells (including cooking smells) of the Great Hall.

The solar was generally smaller than the Great Hall, because it was not expected to accommodate so many people, but it was a room of comfort and status, and usually included a fireplace and often decorative woodwork or tapestries/wall hangings.

SOVIM (Solar Variantions and Irradiance Monitor) instrument is based on an earlier instrument (SOVA) which flew aboard the European Retrievable Carrier, launched on STS-46 in 1992. It is designed to measure solar radiation with wavelengths from 200 nanometers - 100 micrometers. This covers near-ultraviolet, visible and infrared areas of the spectrum.

SOLSPEC (Solar Spectral irradiance measurements) is designed to measure the solar spectral irradiance in the 165 - 3000 nanometer range with high spectral resolution.

This video will review some of the best practices for battery selection. www.SolarPenny.com Visit us online at www.SolarPenny.com - Video is for basic product information only.
Note: This video is not intended to speak negatively / discourage the use of Interstate Batteries. It is a best practice video for a successful system. As we suggest to out of state customers is the best battery you can get "locally" in your area is the Interstate 6 Volt GolfCart Batteries which are easy to obtain at any InterstateBatteryDealer in your area, or if you are a member of "Costco" stores they have a complete selection of Interstate Batteries at the best pricing. I personally have Interstate Batteries in my car and truck but not in my Solar System, they are a great brand but their 12 volt line of "car, marine, rv and boat deep cycle batteries" will hinder your solar storage abilities.

In this video the best battery for Solar PV systems is explored. There are a wide variety of batteries in the market, each suited for a particular application.
For solar PV systems mostly car cranking battery is used which is the worst possible choice for that application. In the developing world truck batteries are used for higher storage capacity which again is a poor option.
Another battery that is making waves is the saltwater battery which is also examined in this video.

Riding with NO Battery only Sunpower cells on hybrid electric bike

Riding up a small hill on only 10 volts of solar power from Sunpower solar cells!
no batteries are used, just the power from the sun.
The highly diffuse reflectors provide the max solar output from indirect sun exposure ..
I just recently finished a 2 week e-bike trek through British Columbia, Canada. and I carried all 8 DIY Sunpower solar panels along for backup charging...the FEP or plastic protective top sheet on each panel has become scratched and visibly worn..
My motor is a 1000watt beast with heavy magnets, which is not ideal for really low wattage testing... so Im quite content with the results so far..
about the DIY panels..
8 panels with 4 Sunpower cells each
without reflectors or mounts, each panels weighs 100 grams each
- I have not weighed the whole kit, but I would make a guess of 5lbs or less.
about the hybrid e-bike
it is a mid-motor mount with freewheel cranks

History

The southern shoreline of Manhattan Island had long been known as "The Battery," and has been a popular promenade since the 17th century. At the time, an artillery battery there served as protection to the town. The Battery was the center of Evacuation Day celebrations commemorating the departure of the last British troops in the United States after the American Revolutionary War. Just prior to the War of 1812, the West Battery, later renamed Castle Clinton, was erected on a small artificial offshore island nearby, to replace the earlier batteries in the area; later, when the land of Battery Park was created, it encircled and incorporated the island.
